In friendly, jargon-free language, It’s Elementary: A Parent’s Guide to K–5 Mathematics not only decodes current teaching practices but also demystifies the fundamental concepts that your children need to understand to be successful math learners―and you need to grasp to help them. Illustrated with numerous examples of real students’ classroom work, It’s Elementary shows you how children progress in their mathematical thinking from simple counting techniques to sophisticated strategies for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing whole numbers, integers, fractions, and decimals. You will discover why―
- today’s teaching emphasizes understanding why a solution works as well as how to solve the problem;
- problem solving produces more confident, creative, and accurate math students than memorizing formulas does;
- practice and drills can be great tools―but only at the right stage of learning; and
- collaborative learning―talking and sharing―not only helps children clarify their own thoughts about math but also introduces them to new ideas and strategies.
It’s Elementary: A Parent’s Guide to K–5 Mathematics is your all-in-one source for helping you to help your children be successful―and happy―math students.
